Psychologists say Minnesota schools are facing a mental health crisis: Lots of students who need help and not enough staff to meet the demand. We spoke with three psychologists about the monumental problem schools face. https://t.co/rpmqcSkrQ3

This would be a tremendous investment in schools! I got a response from @_RyanWinkler regarding his support. Glad to have a common sense representative in my district.

“We have the expertise and we know how to help. We are simply asking for the capacity to meet the needs of our students.”

Sea of blue at the state Capitol 💙
See us. Hear us. Public schools in Minneapolis and statewide deserve better priorities from our local and state leaders! #mnleg#edmnvotes#MFT4Kids#SafeAndStableMPS
Our schools are at a breaking point. To meet the needs of every student and family, Minnesota’s schools need:
✅More school psychologists
✅More counselors
✅More social workers
✅More school nurses
Let's be clear: If we truly want our schools to meet the needs of every student and family, we need more school psychologists, counselors, social workers, nurses, and speech pathologists. There is no way around it.
We need aid for student support personnel.
It takes just one minute to send this letter urging your Members of Congress to pass a robust spending bill that includes significant investments in strengthening the school psychology workforce.
Do it.
This work has been a collective effort to advance the need for school employed mental health professionals! We need all of YOU to activate and engage to send letters to your lawmakers to urge their support of this funding! #NASPadvocates#NASP2022
